Norw Swed Dan Ch Showline She's The One was 2nd Top Whippet Bitch 2024 in Norway
December
What a fantastic way of ending this year with our two lovely sisters at the very last shows in the UK and Norway! We have never published critiques from the rings, but these we had to share with you!
Pia in England!
In mid December we went all the way to the huge LKA in the UK with CIB-J Norw Swed Dan Swiss Ch Showline Sweet Tiger Lily, winning a strong Open Class and RCC in an entry of some 130+ bitches among 211 whippets!
The judge Ann Beckett-Bradshaw writes: "What a lovely Open Bitch class this was. Best class of the day! It always seems a shame that we cannot give out more than one CC, when you have such quality like this in a class. 1st & Res CC: Blutecher’s Norw Swed Dan Swiss Ch Showline Sweet Tiger Lily. This red brindle with white trim reminded me of a female version of the Reserve Dog CC winner. To quote from his critique - Those definitive descriptions from the Breed Standard - Balanced, muscular, elegant, graceful were entirely applicable to her too. Well balanced head with attractive expression. Super length of neck running smoothly into her laid shoulders. A topline and underline completely in harmony. Straight front. Broad, and well angulated thighs and she used all of her conformation to produce a long front action and drive and soundness behind. Lovely!
Nora in Norway!
At the very last show NKK Int Sandefjord we entered Norw Swed Dan Ch Showline She's The One as 3rd best bitch among 110 whippets.
The judge Luis Kruger writes: “Beautiful bitch of excellent type. Good size with moderate bone to feet. Feminine head and expression with mobile ears. Good length of neck which is set smoothly into well laid shoulders. Good depth of chest with prominent forechest. Topline is firm with a slight rise over the loin. Good tuck up with a muscular loin. Rear is well developed with excellent width of thigh and muscular definition. Tail is correctly set and carried on the move. Profile movement is super, showing good reach and drive. Super presentation of a quality exhibit shown in best condition.”
A big Thank You to both judges for these lovely critiques!
LKA is a special show indeed. In 2010 we showed our greyhound GB Multi Ch Showline Sporting Step winning CC, BOB and Hound Group 3rd! She was also BOB at Crufts 2011 and BIS at The Greyhound Club Championship Show 2012 - all in just three shows! Her dam GB Multi Ch Showline Silent Step was already made up!
